Excerpt from The Latter-Day Saints' Millennial Star, Vol. 87: February 26, 1925 Throughout the world to-day. As we have already been informed by a number of the speakers, there is commotion and a spirit of unrest; and the people, many of them, feel that it is something to their credit to hold radical views, to consider themselves to be progressive, and make attack upon things that have stood and have endured throughout the ages. This tendency is not alone found in the political world. It is found in the world of educa tion, of religion, of government, of business and everywhere. Men are departing from the well-worn paths, no matter how good they are, and feel that conservatism is a reproach; that it is the duty of man to do away with that which is Old. Or which has been established, and find something that is new. We stand prac tically alone in the world, yes, absolutely alone in the world, representing the truth of the living God, declaring to all men the principles of eternal truth which do not change. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not new in the sense in which the world looks upon things as being new, for ithas endured through the ages, not merely since the days of the advent of the Son of God, but from the beginning of the world, for the plan of salvation was prepared for the benefit of man and was declared unto him in the beginning. These principles do not change, they cannot change, they must endure immutably through all time. The Christian world may be divided into two camps, one bitterly opposing the other; one calling itself the progressive or modernist division, the other calling itself the fundamentalist division. They may think they are founded upon the truth of the Gospel as it has been established. But we stand for the revelations of God as they have been revealed in this dispensation, known. As the dispensation of the fulness of times, unchangeable, immutable, enduring forever, because they are eternal.
